Roosters confirm arrivals, elevate trio to Top 30 squad

The Sydney Roosters have officially confirmed that Dominic Young and Spencer Leniu will join the club for next season while also elevating three youngsters to the Top 30 squad.

In an announcement on Friday on their website, the club confirmed that Zach Dockar-Clay, Tyler Moriarty and Junior Pauga have all been elevated to the Top 30 roster alongside recent re-signings Billy Smith and Connor Watson.

Their promotion and the arrival of Dominic Young (Knights) and Spencer Leniu (Panthers) means the club still have four available spots on their roster.

This is due to the departures of Drew Hutchison, Jaxson Paulo, Fletcher Baker, Jake Turpin, Nathan Brown, Corey Allan, Paul Momirovski, and Ben Thomas.

Young's brother, Alex Young, has been signed to a supplementary contract and will be joined on the supplementary list by the likes of Blake Steep, Ethan Roberts, Xavier Va'a, and Wakefield Trinity recruit Lewis Murphy.
